Fiber-Optic-Coupled LOC Injection-Laser Array for 8500 Angstroms Room-Temperature Emission.

Abstract

The objective of this program was to fabricate a fiber-optic-coupled injection laser array for the wavelength of 8500 A at room temperature. The laser devices used are of the narrow-beam-angle large-optical-cavity (LOC) type. The array emitted 84 watts peak optical power from an emission aperture of 15 mils by 20 mils, with a peak wavelength of 8420 A and a half-intensity beamwidth of 38 deg, when driven with pulses of 50-amps peak current, 150-ns duration, and 5-kHz repetition rate.
